This is a very interesting read! I never heard of Native American's each month having its own name and they are named very appropriately! I also enjoyed the scale at the end showing the picture of each moon. Great job!

This is so creative. I love the moon and love the different full moons and what they represent. What a really fun way you have described them with a haiku for each.

A very well-written twelve season haiku suite about each special full moon"s name and meaning when it appears in the sky at the certain time each month.

Hello Gypsy,
This is quite a tour of some of my favorite moon images.
I love the way indigenous people related the moon
to the earth and the changing of the seasons.
Each of your wonderful haiku addresses an importance aspect of life.
A few minor suggestions:
wolf moon
hungry [wolf packs]
howl deeply till daybreak
mournful shadows

Snow Moon - (excellent cave image and contrast of snow and fire)

Worm Moon - love the dual image of of flower and worm emerging in early spring. Optional, you might drops "way" - worms wiggle out.

Pink moon - very good blue/pink:boys/girls connection.

Beaver moon suggestion:
traps are set
to catch beaver for their fur
warm winter

Winter Moon: suggestion drop "the"
its grip as [the] nights grow long

An impressive series, my friend, well done!
Best wishes.
Robert

Beautifully written Gypsy, I never knew these Native American moons existed, but thinking on that, the sun, moon and stars, have always had a part with most cultures in one form or another, brilliantly written my friend, blessings Roy

Such a delightful haiku suite, where you adjust your theme to the wisdom of the full moons - and their name in the farmer almanach!

love how you mixed a whole range of human experience into these: From mourning to humor...

"Save for new tractor' made me laugh

I adored the strawberry moon one - the red berries in the red moonlight

And smiled at the deer buck's seduction

So many emotions everywhere!
Thank you for this delight!

Warmly,
J
